Monster Hunter Wilds

Gravios - Large wyverns found in Oilwell Basin. They have a developed physique, powerful heat rays, and a host of gases they can emit from their body. Their bony carapaces are famously tough but expose a surprisingly brittle interior once destroyed

Xu Wu - Cephalopod predators whose prey include Guardian monsters. The mucus secreted from their tentacles hardens quickly into sharp edges that resemble blades or spears, which is why some call Xu Wu the "Piercing Assassin." The sizable mouth hidden on their underside allows them to devour even rather large prey.

Arkveld - A flying wyvern that was considered extinct according to documents left behind by the Guild. Their wings have a unique, chain-like blade that can extend and retract freely to reap their prey. They feed on elemental energy absorbed through these chainblades, and are able to convert the energy to unleash dragon element attacks.

Rathian - Fire-breathing female wyverns known as the "Queens of the Land." Their powerful legs and venomous tails make them efficient ground hunters. At times, Rathian and Rathalos can be sighted hunting as a couple. After laying eggs, Rathian are extremely watchful of their nests. Proceed with extra caution, as mother will move swiftly to protect her young.

Gypceros - Wyverns that can stun enemies by striking their prominent crests to produce powerful flashes of light. Their stretchy, rubbery hide resists blunt impacts and reduces the effectiveness of shock traps. A smart hunter knows the maneuver carefully around the poisonous filth they spew, which drips from ceilings or down slopes.

Nu Udra - The cephalopod that reigns supreme over Oilwell Basin's ecosystem. Usually, when sighted, Nu Udra is covered in oilsilt, but when enraged it will ignite the coating, transfiguring itself into a horror of flame. The oculi that appear on its body and many arms are presumed to be sensory organs, but the truth is still being investigated.

Uth Duna - The leviathan that reigns supreme over the Scarlet Forest's ecosystem. It has adapted to water-rich environments and is sighted most often during the Downpour. Uth Duna's secretions when combined with water form a protective veil that not only absorbs hostile blows but also adds weight , which it slams down with enough force to sweep away surrounding threats in the resulting wave.

Guardian Ebony Odogaron - An artificial monster species created by an ancient civilization and imbued with Ebony Odogaron's power. Guardian Ebony Odogaron cannot reproduce and do not require food, relying instead on Wyvern Milk for energy. They will attempt to corner targets with flurries of attacks from their well-developed claws and tails.

Yian Kut-Ku - Bird wyverns with impressive beaks and large ears. They tend to be skittish but will sometimes initiate attacks on a perceived threat. Yian Kut-Ku arrive in large groups during the season of Plenty in the Scarlet Forest. The absence of eggs or young suggests that the purpose of this is not to breed, but rather seek out mates and nourishment.

Quematrice - Brute wyverns with disproportionately long tails. They spread a flammable substance which vaporizes quickly, then ignite it by dragging their tails along the ground. By nature, Quematrice rarely hunt their own prey, and instead scavenge herbivore carrion left behind by other predators. This often leads to confrontations with other, smaller carnivores.

Rompopolo - Dappled brute wyverns that prowl Oilwell Basin. They use their tails to inject gas into the ground and detonate it, then feed on the small creatures that are unearthed. The toxic gas they spray from their tongues serve to weaken prey, which they then finish off with the blasts. Rompopolo are extremely territorial and will readily engage their own kind.

Congalala - Large fanged beasts with pink fur and a distinct crest, which the males sculpt with plant oils and juices as a sign of virility. Congalala are common in temperate forests and are therefore well researched. They're big eaters and love mushrooms, which they absorb and then exhale as a variety of potent breaths that inflict poison, blast, paralysis, and more.
